Campsite Cross-Site Scripting and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Campsite, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "f_search_keywords" parameter when performing a search is not sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Input passed via the "f_article_title" and "FLead_and_SMS" parameters while adding or editing an article is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "User may add articles" or "User may delete articles" permissions.
3) Input passed via the "f_comment_search" parameter to admin/comments/index.php is not sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.4.1. Other versions may also be affected.
